principle rather than policy and was thoroughly
honest and earnest in endeayorlng TO secure the

hearts of the saloonists, the rumsellers and the
sympathizers of the liquor interest IN the state.
1t is received with deep, sincere. unteigned sor-
row by every true temperance worker anu lover
of humanity We are not yet ape 70 iuiy com,

imitation of decorative metal work as it is possible
to conceive The effects are in old silver, old
gold, aluminium, nickel, BRASS copper, bronze, old

PrIma Facie Evidence Again.

To the Editor Of the Press;
have no occasion to trouble you further except
upon one single point. 1t is true that our SUI
preme Court formerly decided that where the IS
sue involved breach of the criminal law, it was
necessary that the party having the Affirmative
should sustain it by proof beyond reasonable
doubts but it is also true that those decisions have
been overruled and are no longer law in this
State, and the rule in civil cases is uniform that ia
maintain an issue, the party having the affirma.
tive sustains it by prepondrance of testimony.
SIN the trial of civil causes, the court will not
first determine whether the facts stated in the
plaintiffs declaration constitute criminal
offence and then require .of the plaintiff more OF
less evidence according to the conclusion
reached"
will remind you, too, that the prosecution can
not except to Judge Whitehouse's charge, and,
therefore, the case cannot go to the Law Court
on any ruling against the State }. Ii. ID.
